You were not kidding about double checking eBay listings to make sure these are complete- I got one that's 100% complete this morning but I had to check all the listings to be certain. Even a lot of long-time Joe dealers were listing them as "complete" despite missing 1 or 2 of the mines.
This would be good to display the wind up mine sweeper with! Always wondered why they would need one when they had Tripwire and Lightfoot. This answers that question! Thank you for the review!
Ever consider this the rival to the 86 TTT.... with the 93 Dr. Mind bender figure as the driver since he has that yellow, no cape to get in the way and was a common foil for Sgt slaughter in the cartoon. Plus the vehicle are about the same size with 2 foot pegs that are strange for figures to use also.... use the hydro foil and the tactile battle platform with these 2 vehicles and the colors work out great
hey Kevin quick question, my canopy to my hiss has yellowed can I remove it and put it in peroxide to remove the yellow and if yes what % should I use? thanks
Sorry for the late response, but I was trying to find fellow collectors restoring a canopy that way but couldn't. Clear plastic is very fragile and my guess is it doesn't work. I will still look around for some solutions. In the meantime, you should ask Retroblasting and ToyPolloi, they do a lot more restorations than I do!
formbx257 no problem kevin, I know how busy life can be, thanks for your help. I will look around and see if I can find a solution. thanks again. this was my childhood toy and I wanted to try and restore it the best I could.
Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, especially the great animation at the end. Thanks again.

I must've missed this vehicle in the toy aisles back in '88. I've never heard of it. Good review!
I totally forgot I had one of these til I saw one in another video of yours, love the color scheme of it

Great video. I like the Astro Vipers colors with this vehicle and he still has the helmet for protection.

Overall I think it's a ok vehicle. The yellow gun is a eyesore though.

How about a headlight restoration product.
